England win gold in pairs shooting

England's first shooting gold at Glasgow 2014 went to David Luckman and Parag Patel in the Queen's Prize pairs on Saturday.

The duo, both 38, led from start to finish in the two-day event, in which shooters with full bore rifles fire at targets at distances of up to 1,000 yards.

For Luckman it is a first Commonwealth medal while Patel won his third medal in the discipline.

Despite a torrential rainstorm which threatened to see the event held over until Sunday, they beat Canada's Jim Paton and Des Vamplew into second place while Scotland grabbed another medal, Ian Shaw and Angus McLeod taking bronze.
